4 VINCRISTINE LOADED PLATELETS IN TIE TREATMENT OF IDIOPATHIC THROMBOCYTOPENIC PURPURA (ITP)

Vincristine-loaded platelets for autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura.

About treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).

Their treatment results with megadose methylprednisolone (MDMP) support fairly closely our complete remission results, though theirs was a retrospective evaluation. In our prospective, comparative study, antiplatelet antibodies were also determined3. Their 80% complete remission rate (mistakenly written as 66% in the text) with MDMP administration was much better than other therapeutic approach...

Role Of Vincristine In Treatment Of Refractory Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (Itp)

Chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a condition associated with significant morbidity; however the management options for refractory ITP are often unsatisfactory despite various lines of treatment including splenectomy. The comparison of vincristine costs with other lines of treatment as intravenous immunoglobulin revealed many folds lower costs of vincristine. The aims of this study are: ...

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) in children.

Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in children remits spontaneously in the majority of cases but most children require treatment. Between 1995 and 2005, 265 children (0-15 years old) have been consecutively observed and treated: 28 children with high doses of methylprednisolone (HDMP) (15 mg/kgx4 days), 63 with HDMP (7.5 mg/kgx4 days), 37 with HD dexamethasone (DXM) pulses, 29 with low doses o...

Helicobacter pylori Eradication in Adult Patients with Acute Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP)

Background and Objective: Different studies have investigated the link between helicobacter pylori and extra digestive diseases such as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. However, the relationship between ITP and H pylori is less clear. Most of the studies have focused on H pylori eradication in chronic ITP, so we focused on the effect of H pylori eradication on chronicity of ITP in adult pat...
